Conn. Practice Book § 44-16

(a) The judicial authority shall assign for trial on

dates certain so much of the trial list as shall be

deemed necessary for the proper conduct of the

court and shall direct the clerk to distribute a list

of the cases so assigned to the counsel of record.

Cases shall be assigned for trial in the order in

which they appear on the trial list and they should

be tried in the order in which they are assigned

for trial, except that the judicial authority may

depart from the listed order and may give priority

in assignment or trial to the following types of

cases:

(1) Cases in which the defendant is being held

in custody for lack of a bond;

(2) Cases in which the judicial authority has

granted a motion for a speedy trial; or

(3) Cases in which the judicial authority reasonably believes that the pretrial liberty of the defendant presents unusual risks over those of other

criminal cases.

(b) The judicial authority shall not assign for trial

on a date certain a number of cases greater than

that which can be reasonably expected to be

reached for trial on that date, based on the court’s

resources for trial and the number and percentage

of trials generally conducted.
